Hallower has put up a very nice companion piece to our very own Melchizedek's Expectations of Vanguard article which was posted yesterday. In the article Hallower describes his personal experience with being too critical of games he formerly played which in turn resulted in the games losing their luster for him. Nice job Hallower!

Brad McQuaid has also given us this information on the hardware that the most recent Beta 0 shots were taken with.

Additionally Brad explained how climbing currently works and that there may be a climbing skill at some point.

More news from Fanguard soon!
